Some of you may remember that project of mine I worked on for |
4 |
GSOC 2009: collection of information on Gentoo user machine setups. |
5 |
|
6 |
I have been extending Smolt [1] (whose current upstream version |
7 |
collects information on hardware) to fit our interest in the |
8 |
software side of things. |

In the past days [2] I have been migrating the server side of Smolt |
14 |
to server-to-server communication. What does that mean? |

Server-to-server communication |

------------------------------ |
18 |
When a client submits to the Gentoo Smolt Server, the server will |
19 |
extract the part of interest to the common Smolt server (smolts.org) |
20 |
and forward it. |
21 |
|
22 |
As a consequence the needs for space in storage (quite a few SQL |
23 |
tables, use flags per installed package, ..) and increased |
24 |
processing time per submission are no problem to smolts.org |
25 |
anymore. Also we gain more direct access to "our" data from it. |
26 |
|
27 |
Another thing I've been working on is re-shaping the Gentoo code in |
28 |
a way that it's now ready to go upstream, at least from my point of |
29 |
view. I have requested permission to merge it in a few hours ago: |
30 |
Let's see how upstream thinks about it. |
31 |
|
32 |
So that's the news I wanted to share with you. |
